reality is if you tick “no atpls complete” it’s likely your CV will get chucked out into the ether when your apply for airline jobs.
And then they invite you for interview, with instructions to bring supporting documents to prove exam results.
And then you show up with some bullsh!t story about how it’s all “pending” or lost in the system.
And then you go on their blacklist - never to be hired.
And if you don’t think airlines have hiring blacklists, you could be wrong,
Don’t apply for jobs unless you meet the advertised selection criteria. It pisses recruiting people off to wade through flaky applications.
Just pass the fecking exams!
